The children going through this trauma may not be able to take out this out of their mind through out their lives. This will cause a big stigma in their lives.

I would request Army Chief, Prime Minister and Chief Minister KPK to take full responsibility of this lapse and resign immediately from their posts. This is shameful. May Allah protect all our children.

RIP my dear children - please ask god what wrong you had done to have that tragic end. People of India should share the griefs of the families rather than giving moral lectures.

Give this news coverage a week since the count is high otherwise our memories would have it faded away in two to three days and the whole 'nation' would have switch to the next 'sensation'. Watch the news in the evening and we will have a familiar sight of a N-league rep condemning and criticizing KP and Imran Khan for the dharnas and that would fuel the fading away even further.

It is shocking loss of so many young lives as it has proven that Government has failed and should tender its resignations. Furthermore when a government is elected through disenfranchisement of voters, it brings an inapt and a corrupt government into power with little or no money available to improve the police service or other agencies to protect the lives and properties of its people. Pakistan is at cross roads and people may want to decide if it is willing to give an elected government a chance notwithstanding how it got elected or appoint a Government of technocrats until reforms including civil military partnership are incorporated into the Pakistani Constitution.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago when it was announced that Kenya will be touring pakistan for an ODI, my concern at thqt time was also that when the Afghans and the Indians read this good news they will do something to give a bad image about Pakistan, look at what has happened now, as these terrorists cannot attack freely in the rest of Pakistan like a Lahore, Islamabad or Karachi... They have gone for the weeakest link which it seems to be a Peshawer, the Pakistan Army needs to do something to tackle this. enough is enough, we should send a strong signal to couple and deli and tell them that they cannot just attack pakistan because they do not like the government.

My condolences to the Children and their bereaving parents. Please don't deny the fact that they are Muslims and citizen of land of pure. Hatred begets hatred. Please shun away the hatred for one another. We are the people of the land which has the culture of " Vasudhaiv ktumbakam"- the planet is a family.

@Thiru I would partially agree with you. External Factors cant be and should not be blamed all the time BUT one can not rule them out. As for Pak Army / US, one can not deny history and facts. Things were so different until the US invaded Afghanistan, the latter WAS a strategic asset for Pakistan. The whole world was behind US/Pakistan during USSR occupation of Afghanistan. It is so unfortunate that after the USSR disintegrated, the US became the only super power and Cop of the world. A small country like Pakistan had no choice but to give a nod to anything and everything the Cop said. Any country in place of Pakistan would have done so (under pressure). Now Pakistan is paying the price of supporting US. The US, even with the help of many other powers was not able to accomplish its job in over 10 years in Afghanistan, and even after 1000s of drone strikes in Waziristan. Now they are packing bags (as if they did wonders)....but the problem is still there as it stood in the 1st place (also as in case with Iraq). Pakistan is now prone to such attacks by Afghan/Pak militants who were against US invasion of Afghanistan.

@Kaly I am so moved and impressed by comments from Indian readers which indicate that they fully share our grief and treat the besieged and helpless children as if they are their own. The spirit of solidarity shown at the Nobel awards ceremony less than a week ago is resonating again. While our Prime Ministers did not respond to Malala's appeal to show the solidarity with the children, who are not only deprived of the right to education, the children are paying the price of seeking that right in flesh and blood by violence, extremism, hatred , ignorance and bigotry. It is about time that the people of both countries rise together to stop the madness which their political and military leaders have dragged into. Only a joint action can ensure our children's future. The crux of terrorism in India and Pakistan stems from the hatred between the two peoples that has been promoted by vested interrests in both countries.

Operation against these animals should be taken to next level with the policy of "taking no prisoners" as our judiciary & then Human Rights Watch & those who have applied moratorium on putting to death these criminals (now more than 8,000 on death row for the past several years), should be given a shutup call & all these death sentences especially those involved in terrorism must be excercised. Don't know why these lobbies keep telling Pakistan not to execute these criminals, while every day Saudi's, Bangladeshi's & dozens of other countries keep putting their & foreign nationals to death.

Dear Countryman....... I don't know what to say and how to react on the situation..... We can feel the pain but not the same intensity of pain the affected family are feeling...... Being a father, I am standing with all the parents who lost their loved ones......

Enough is enough now...... words are not enough..... As a nation we must stand together and kicked these elements out of our community...... I request all authorities not to kill the remaining terrorists .... capture them .... and give them the most severe punishment they can think off..... placing a single bullet in their heads is not enough...... No MERCY to all such type of people.... who stab us from time to time till this moment......

No normal citizen would be safe in these situations and the area - specially Pakistan became a hotbed of breeding terrorists in the name of religion (although it has no relation to Islam and its teachings).

@Taimur Our politicians did not attack our school, the Pakistani Taliban did and they have already given their excuse. The question is, why do we as Pakistanis continue to support them? In the name of Islam? From what I know of my religion, there are no examples, ahadees, or commandments that support this Talibani behavior. It is disgusting how we close our eyes like the pigeon and blame everyone else.
